"T0, all whom t my concern UNITED sinus enter ANDERSON, orf-wensen, irreconcinv Lunnica'rcn. I

Be it known that I, ORLAF ANDnRso-n, a citizen'of. the United States, residing at `Wausau, the county of -lv/Iarathoirandv State of 1/"isconsin, have invented certain newfand useful .lniprcrements in Lubricav"tors, of which the following is a specifica-- tion, reference being had to the accompany"y ing drawings This iniation relates to new and useful `.inhpro'e'.ments".-in lubricating devices and more particularly to a device of this chara'cbile engines, the main object of invention vbeing thevprovis'ion of a icaz -ing'fleviee whereby the engine will be anta y Supplied with oil, while in motion, the'supply bei-ng controlled-by the actuation of the magneto controller, whereby the supply of oil will be stopped when the engine is ter which is adapted, for use anton V- .Another object of the invention 'is the. provisionE of a device of this character which fwill possess advantages in' points of eli- ,.1 ciency and durability, is inexpensive to manufacture and, at the same time, is simple in construction and operation.

A -of construction, combination y and arrange- Y ment of partsas will' be hereinafter referred to and'more vparticularly pointed out in the specication vand claims.

I The rear end of 'the tank is provided with an lVith the above -and otherobjectsy in view, .the-invention consists in the novel features l-In the accompanying drawing forming a part 'of this application, Figure 1 is a side elevation,illustrating my improved oiler, as

applied to an automobile engine; and Fig. 2

is ay front elevation of the switch box, illus- ,tratingthe connection between the switch 7 box and the controller.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates an automobile engine 'whichv may be of any general type and mounted thereon lis asupply tank 2, which is supported" upon thi-i` engine by. means of the standards', the ends of which are bent lat- 'erally in opposite directionsy'one end being bolted or otherwise secured to the supplytank 2, while the .other ,end is bolted or otherwisesecuredto the engine 1. The tank ,2 is provided upon its upper face, with an opening adapted to be centrally closed hy' means ofV a're'mova-ble plug 4, vwhereby the tank maybe readily filled, when desired.

outlet opening ans-f connected'therewithis a conveying pipe 5, which extends through a suitable opening formed inthel dashboard 6 of the motor vehicle, and kisconnected upon the inner side of the dashboard 'witha-valve and connected witl "1 epther end/'of the valve elbow o'vably-connected to the lower end of the elbow 8, is'what will be hereinafter known aspa'.'sight lfdrip feed devi-ffI` which is 'generally indicated-by the numeral 9' and which is .providedswith an opening covered' withv1 any'suitable transparent material, whereby the interior-'cf the deaf-ice is visible so vthatfthe` operator can readily 'tell whether thev` device isI inwerking order or not. Y

' The feed device Slis-provided withta regulating valvey 10, wherebyarthedischarge of the o il may be regulated f-according to the amount, desired. 'It will bei: understood `that the valve 7 is to be usedinncutting 'off the supply of oil from the-"tank,fwhenso desided. Connected withthefloweriend ofthe feed device v9, is a' tubellf'which'fzextends -down through the dash Ibelow the pipe 5 and Y thence extends alongrfftheiengine Vto the breather pipe 12, to which the-sameis connected, said breather pipehaving coinmunication with the crank case, to 4which the o-il is to be supplied. Connected with the valve member, is an outwardly projecting arm 13 having a 4removable socket member 14 carried by theputer end thereof, in which arranged within the arm l18 and entends` through the arm 16.

The connectionl between the arm 16 and the rod 15- is preferably ofthe ball andv 105 socket type, whereby saidi members .l will have asfree and easy 'movement v.upon the From this it will be apparent that when it is desired to start the engine, the control leverl 18 will be lmoved laterally to connect the engine withl the magneto, this movement reciprocating the irod v15 which lwill actuate'- in connection with the drawing, that my improved oiling device can be quickly and readily applied to-'any' 4make of engine of this type, and the supply 'of oil from the tank 2 to the engine crank case may be regulated' through the medium of the .valve member 10A and. should the device become inoperative, it will be readily visible to the operator through the medium of the sight 'feed drip vdevice 9,l so that vmy improved -oiler, as/herein shown and described, is eX tremely simple in construction andV can be manufactured .and placed upon the market at a comparatively l-ow cos While I have 'show nand describedv the veo .be resorted to for successfully carrying my preferred' form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in theproportions may ing invention into practice, without lsacri `any of the novel features, or departing from the scope ofthe Having thus described this invention,

appended claims.`

what Iclaim' is 1. A device ofthe class describedk includ-V inga' supply tank, and a valve member arthe discharge pipe, a

ranged at the outer end thereof', a feed device, 'means coma-acting the valve with the feed VAdevice,

a tube having connection with` the breather pipe of an engine and having. y

connection with the yfeed; device, a movable arm connected with the valve, a rod looselyV connectedto the outer end of said arm and4 means having loose connection with the rod y whereby to actuate said arm and open an p close the valve toregulate the supply of oil from the tank to the vbreather pipe.

2. 'The combinat on withl the arm. ofa magneto, of a supply tankpaldisoperating charge pipe connected therewith, a valve member arranged withingthe outerend of connection with the valve,

feed device having y a discharge tube 50 connected with the'feed device, an arm con-` neeteddwith said valve, an operatin rod looselyl connected to arm, and a second loosely connected to the outer end o said.- p arm having Aone endy the outer end ofthe* arm and its other end 'rigidly connected to the 'niagneto arm, whereby to open 'and close said arm. upon the actuation `o forth.
